Asbestos help in Kingston upon Thames
Questions from Kingston upon Thames
Could my house in Kingston upon Thames contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you work in Kingston upon Thames with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Let us know the parking situation and we will plan around it.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Does all asbestos have to be removed?
Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check it from time to time.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How asbestos removal works in Kingston upon Thames
Once the material is out, we clean up and bag or wrap the waste, and you get the waste paperwork. Typical jobs include old flues and old floor tiles and black adhesive, involving floor tiles, gutters and downpipes and cement roof sheets.
Removal jobs around Kingston upon Thames often mean working in flats, back gardens and tight spaces, so we plan parking, access and the route for the waste. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.
